Confidential HIV Testing

Knowing your HIV status is an important part of maintaining your overall health. Routine testing allows for early detection, timely medical care, and informed decisions about your health and the health of your partners.

Our HIV testing services are provided in a confidential, respectful setting where your privacy is always a priority.

Depending on your healthcare needs, testing may include:

• HIV screening
• Risk assessment
• Pre-test education
• Post-test counseling
• Guidance on next steps based on your results

If additional medical care is needed, our team will discuss appropriate treatment options or referrals.

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis)

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a preventive medication for individuals who may have an increased risk of HIV exposure. When taken as prescribed, PrEP is highly effective at reducing the risk of HIV infection as part of a comprehensive prevention plan.

During your consultation, our healthcare providers will:

• Discuss your health history
• Evaluate your individual risk factors
• Determine whether PrEP may be appropriate for you
• Explain how PrEP works
• Answer your questions regarding treatment and monitoring
• Provide ongoing follow-up as recommended

Our goal is to help you make informed decisions while supporting your long-term health and wellness.

Comprehensive STI Screening

Sexual health involves more than HIV prevention. We also provide screening for common sexually transmitted infections to help identify concerns early and support timely treatment when appropriate.

Screening may include testing for:

• Chlamydia
• Gonorrhea
• Syphilis
• Hepatitis B
• Hepatitis C
• Other sexually transmitted infections based on your healthcare needs

Our providers will recommend appropriate testing based on your medical history, symptoms, and individual risk factors.
